Ingredients
Scale
Gathering the right ingredients is the first step in creating this delightful dish. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound of Lil Smokies sausages
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
If you’re missing an ingredient or two, don’t worry. You can substitute sriracha with another hot sauce or use balsamic vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. The key is to maintain the balance of sweet, spicy, and savory.
Instructions
Ready to bring these flavors to life? Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
- Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
- In a large bowl, toss the Lil Smokies with olive oil to coat them evenly. This step reminds me of those Sundays when Mum would let me help her in the kitchen, teaching me the importance of every detail.
- Pour the hot honey garlic sauce over the sausages, ensuring each one is well coated.
- Spread the sausages evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the sausages are caramelized and sticky.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and transfer to a serving dish.
